A Message From Karla Davenport of the ISPY Radio Show on the ORS 190

7/23/2012

Here is a message from Karla on how to form an ORS 190.  

Hi Bonnie,
An ORS 190  is generally used among governments who are forming a relationship to fund or administer specific projects.  In some  ways they are not good when used to develop systems that  voters have resisted with an unpopular project and yet the government agencies can use these agreements to  move ahead on  projects without voter approval.  But there is also a good  side to the agreements when trying to fight bigger, more   powerful government agencies who just won’t listen to their  constituents. It’s what we used it to stop Salem Mass Transit          from encroaching into our rural area.

 You don’t need to create a non-profit to form an ORS 190, but if you already have a non-profit I believe it could be a member at the table.  You need two or more entities to form the 190.  We went to each small town and met with the city council and they  agreed, by ordinance, to sign onto the 190.  The 190 agreement has to be written out and reads much like the corporate papers filed for private business.  They have the mission statement,  what the agreement is established for, if there is funding   what kind and how it’s managed, and much more.  You could probably get hold of a copy from one of your local council  members who may have a draft on file.   

The benefit for you in the Coos County area is by forming an agreement among many small towns you increase your legal abilities to fight off other government intrusions. And if you can get four or five small cities/governments to sign on, then odds are you may have a chance to get the county commissioners to sign on as well. And the good news is that even though Coquille has a larger population, they’d only have one vote at the table maximizing the voices of the smaller population area. Whatever you do, don’t agree to consensus agreements in this arena, it must be a majority vote with each government entity, regardless of size, having equal power. 

I’ll look around to see if I can find an agreement we used because there  was a lot of effort that we put into the wording of the agreement when it came time enter talks with Salem Mass Transit.  And actually how we structured that agreement is we formed another 190 so that our rural 190 as a whole signed an agreement with Salem Mass Transit which formed a second 190.      We did that so that they couldn’t become a member with the individual towns and then try to destroy the rural agreement,  which they did try but we stopped them.

Hi Karla,
        Thanks for following up.
        How would this work? Do we create non-profit organizations and the go to our cities and counties
and estrablish agreements, or do we get our local cities or counties to create these intergovernmental entities?
 Thanks,       
  Bonnie

Hi Bob and Bonnie,
 
I wanted to follow up from Saturday’s conversation  about the Intergovernmental Agreements instituted by ORS  190.   As I explained we used this to offset Salem Mass Transit of building a huge transit system modeled after TriMet in  Portland.   What I’m wondering if there’s a way to unit small towns and special districts in your areas that would be able to raise funds, get government grants, etc., for studies (we  have many scientists who do not agree with the science used by  these environmental groups), purchase property to be protected  in certain areas for grazing, etc.  I
mean there may be a  whole lists of creative ideas that small rural areas can develop that will protect their constituents.  It’s not   perfect, but it’s a possibility. 

Read through and if it is of interest we can go from there.  Karla
